Lucy told me earlier that all cars at Beckenham Junction are being checked by the police.

That makes no sense. They'd have hit Clapham Junction too then. All i need to hear, my dad is working there right now but i do see your point of view. Edited by Bedge (07 Jul 2005 1:42pm)
Look at Madrid, Bali, New York - they didn't hit suburbs, they hit popular work/tourist areas. Plus they always hit overground - the pictures speak more words than anything else ever can. There is a pattern to the attacks. I'm sure your dad is fine Bedge.

You get a lot of mis-information at a time like this. Security will be tighter, and lost handbags will now draw a full-on suspect package alert for a while. There is also the chinese whispers thing (since I arrived at work this morning there have been literally dozens of different stories - apparently Old Street tube station had been blown up, which was strange as the sandwich shop in there still did me a sausage sarnie). There's also a ring of armed police around Shoreditch nick round the corner, which is probably just a security measure, but you instantly get people suggesting they've caught a bomber and got him in there. All those with access to reliable sources (Sky news, BBC) please keep the info coming - it's a bit patchy up here at the moment and any help is appreciated!

Mayor Ken just been on the radio speaking from Singapore on his way back - great statement - very statesman like stressing how the attackers showed no respect for race, relegion, class, age etc - and stressing that London WILL keep going - we will keep living our lives and tourists will continue to come. Keep the faith guys

Has Clapham Junction been closed? Spoke to people at Southern earlier and Clapham is fine but running a limit service.

Regarding Croydon and other stations (Barons Court), I don't think its due to 'scaremongering' as such - people are on a high sense of alert and are therefore reporting anything that looks suspicious. If some plonker forgetfully leaves a carrier bag at a station then that station will get closed down. Hope I'm effing right.
When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep. |

As Danny Butterfield wheeled away, arms aloft in celebration of his third goal – an expression of delight and astonishment on his face – a man seated beside me in the stands turned to his young son and told him that he would remember this moment for the rest of his life. I will too. |

The Citigroup building was at Canary Wharf was evacuated - so there is a possibility that this is true. Quote JayT at 07 Jul 2005 1:43pm

Anyone got any news on the apparent shooting of a suicide bomber at canery warf, and kings cross? Nothing on that at all. I think it's just rumours.
